Pure Michigan gets ink - in the form of tattoos

Michigan Economic Development Corp. spokeswoman Michelle Grinnell tells MLive.com a colleague spotted a nearly exact rendering of the Pure Michigan logo as a tattoo. It features a blue "M," signifying the tourism brand.

Grinnell says she thinks it's "kind of a signal of how passionate our fans are and how passionate people are about the state of Michigan."

Technically, those seeking to use the logo are supposed to go through an approval process that includes submitting an example of how the logo will be used. In the case of tattoos, however, Grinnell said the state doesn't plan to go after those who get inked.
